Use a North-South and East-West rolling pattern to distribute the product evenly across the prepared concrete. Recoat within the 12–24 hour window.

While VaporSolve LP can handle high humidity, it is still recommended to wait for the concrete to stabilize. If you are on a fast-track construction schedule, please contact us to discuss the specific age of your slab before proceeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eWhy is the Perm rating so important?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA perm rating measures the rate of water vapor transmission. VaporSolve LP’s 0.01 perm rating reduces moisture vapor transmission to near zero, helping prevent failure of moisture-sensitive flooring systems installed above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eWhat happens if I see \"Pinholes\" after application?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinholes occur when air escapes the concrete as the epoxy cures. This is common on porous slabs and should be expected in some cases. If you see pinholes after your first coat, you must apply a second tight coat. A single pinhole can allow moisture vapor to pass through and eventually cause a failure in the finished flooring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eCan I use this as my final garage floor finish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. VaporSolve LP is a functional industrial resin. It is not UV stable and is not designed for aesthetics. It must be covered with a pigmented epoxy, decorative flake system, or appropriate topcoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eDo I need to sand before my next coat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you apply your next layer within the 12 to 24 hour recoat window, no sanding is required. If you wait longer than 24 hours, the surface becomes too hard for a chemical bond and must be sanded with 80–100 grit to create a mechanical profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eCan I use Pigmented VaporSolve LP directly on concrete?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePigmented VaporSolve LP is designed to be applied over \u003cstrong\u003eVaporSolve Primer\u003c\/strong\u003e.

EasyMVB can be used as a concrete treatment to penetrate into concrete and creates a moisture vapor barrier within concrete by reacting with and sealing pores and capillaries, eliminating vapor transmission and solving hydrostatic pressure challenges. EasyMVB is also a complementary pre-primer treatment for Premera’s sol-gel based products. When used in combination with Premera FP1 Fusion Primer, up to 25 lbs of moisture vapor can be withstood, effectively eliminating adhesion issues caused by moisture vapor. When applied to concrete or any pozzolanic material, Premera EasyMVB penetrates to seal, densify and thereby harden cementitious surfaces. Premera EasyMVB is formulated to penetrate and block capillaries by reacting with free calcium hydrates to form an insoluble, permanent barrier. It effectively eliminates efflorescence, improves water resistance, water repellency, and surface properties of cementitious materials. Premera EasyMVB is recommended for use as a pre-priming surface treatment on floorings, liners in immersion application, and adhered waterproofing membranes – including structures under hydrostatic pressure.
